Description from the seller
Elegant porcelain coffee service for 6, “Ancona” pattern, made by Richard Ginori.
Richard Ginori’s “Ancona” pattern is one of the manufactory’s most recognizable designs from the twentieth century, admired for its understated elegance and the distinctive interplay of relief details on the porcelain.
Made from fine white porcelain, this design features decoration that is not painted but shaped directly into the material. Its defining feature is a spiral or fan-shaped relief that begins at the rim and extends toward the center of the plate in a smooth, regular pattern. This motif creates a sense of movement: light glides across the surface, highlighting the curves and bringing movement to an object that is, in fact, entirely monochrome. The shape is clean and balanced, with slightly scalloped or wavy edges that echo the rhythm of the design. This is not a traditionally decorated pattern, but rather an example of design in which the structure of the porcelain itself becomes the decoration, reflecting a modern sensibility while remaining rooted in classicism.
The service offered at auction is complete for 6 people and consists of 6 cups and saucers.
The set is in excellent condition.
Green “R. Ginori” Richard Ginori mark on the underside of the saucers; the cups are unmarked.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
